Is anyone running for local office?

I will be on the ballot for Republican committeeman in my precinct. Precincts, or divisions (what we Philadelphians call them), can have up to two committeepeople. I am an unofficials committeeperson but that will change next May. One of my first votes will be for myself!

Congratulations. Committeeman is an important office in the grassroots of the party. I've served in that office for ten years, complete with knocking on doors, passing out petitions and literature, walking parades with the other committeemen, and working with election judges.

didnt newfeddy once run for the us senate?

Yeah I think I remember him saying he was the Libertarian candidate in 1980.

Campaign manager for most successful "third" party congressional candidate in 1980; candidate for County Commissioners Court in 1982; nominated by Texas Libertarian Party for U.S. Senate in 1984; County chair of LP of El Paso County 1980-85; candidate for city charter commission 1985. Prior to that worked in a State House GOP primary race in Michigan while in high school (1966) and worked for the re-election of the incumbent Democratic governor in "64 (who lost to George Romney!).

Though I wouldn't count US Senate as a local office!
